dc.description.abstractWorld over, public officials have often been embroiled in scandals of varying magnitude. The genesis for most of these scandals is the gradual deterioration in ethical behaviour of public officials, which has given rise to all kinds of malpractices. This has triggered an outcry from various stakeholders, especially the general public, for the development and implementation of policies that address ethics, integrity, transparency, accountability and professionalism, to promote accountability in the management of public resources and improve public sector results. This study sets out to investigate the impediments of ethics, accountability, transparency, integrity and professionalism in the public service. It specifically discusses how procedural factors, institutional factors, social cultural factors and economic factors impede integrity and ethical practices in Kenya’s public service. The paper will anchor its study on the public choice theory, broken window theory and rational choice theory. The paper will rely on primary data pulled from the records of the ethics and anti-corruption commission office. The departments that will be of interest will be the Investigations, Ethics and Leadership and Preventive services. The data will later be analysed using the statistical package of social sciences it will be presented in the form of tables and graphs and thereafter it will form a basis for a conclusion and recommendation of the research.en_US
